We present a biosensor intended to evaluate prostatic stiffness. The stiffness of the prostate was modulated using hormonal induction and adrenergic stimulation. The results show that the sensor can be sufficiently accurate to discriminate between soft prostates used as controls and those stiffened with hormones. The modulation produced by an adrenergic agent on prostatic stiffness was detected using this system. An electrical model was constructed embodying the parameters of prostatic stiffness, micturition frequency, and volume, demonstrating that prostatic stiffness correlates with micturition frequency.
我们展示了一种旨在评估前列腺硬度的生物传感器。通过激素诱导和肾上腺素能刺激来调节前列腺的硬度。结果表明，该传感器能够足够准确地区分用作对照的软质前列腺和用激素变硬的前列腺。利用该系统检测了肾上腺素能药物对前列腺硬度的调节作用。构建了一个体现前列腺硬度、排尿频率和尿量参数的电学模型，表明前列腺硬度与排尿频率相关。
